I'll get straight into this, I have a problem. A temperature related problem. I am the type of girl who will go out in a tiny jacket in the height of Winter simply because A. I'm too cheap to put it in the cloakroom and B. I can't be bothered to carry a heavy coat either. So for me wearing a sensible coat for a night out is pretty much unheard of. So no-one was more surprised than me when I was finally persuaded to stay warm and don a 'proper' coat.
So I chose this bottle green Warehouse number. I picked this up in the sale for £15 and I think it was such a bargain. I forget how much it was originally but I am sure it was probably a lot as is everything in Warehouse. Probably why I don't shop there much!

Faux leather skirt//Primark//£8.00
T-Shirt//Topshop//£10.00
Boots//New Look//£7.00
Bag//H&M//£14.99
Necklace//Topshop//£3.50 (sale)
Bracelets//H&M and Topshop (came in assorted sets)
This 'leather' skirt is so easy to wear, I have worn it so many times. With it being black it goes with everything and makes my outfits look a little more edgy. I know most people have these skirts, but it doesn't mean they aren't great!
I am so gutted the necklace is twisted! It was a mixture of my rushing and my boyfriend who is not a natural photographer by any stretch of the imagination! He once took a picture of me on my Birthday and cut my head out of the picture, claiming he didn't realise I wanted my head in it.....there are no words! The necklace is so unusual I love mixing metals and it matches my bag perfectly. The bag is so nice too! It's not overly expensive and it matches pretty much all my outfits, bargain. I mentioned it in a wishlist post here actually, with some more H&M beauties!
Do you have a wardrobe of basics you jazz up for a night out? What are your secrets to having a full wardrobe on a budget? Do share! :)

Love that jacket. Cannot believe it was only £15!
ReplyDeleteI do exactly the same; to refrain from having to leave my coat somewhere or to save having to carry it on a day out should I have to take it off, I simply won't put one on. xx
I know! I think it's a girl thing! I was sooo happy when I found it it's a jacket for most occasions!
DeleteSue :)
£15?! I nearly don't believe that! Brilliant find and I love your outfit overall :)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same too, I never wear a coat on a night out even though I'm always freezing just because it's always a few euro to leave it into the cloak room. Every bit adds up!

I need this jacket in my life. I love the bag from H&M they always do such nice bags. I always wear my leather skirt its so easy to style, I can't believe this is only £8 from Primark they do the exact same one in River Island which is almost triple that.x
